Why

One last show to close out 2026.

2026 was a long year in NFT land. We're still here, and so are you. So let's close it out together: one big show, live, and then on to a better 2027 for all of us.

The main event

Every Firework gets its moment.

The whole collection is one show. At the end of 2026 we go live, and a camera glides through a pixel city past every Firework, one after another. When yours bursts, everyone watching sees it.

  • Your name in the sky

    Claim your spot and your name flies above your Firework. Own a few that launch back to back? They join into one banner.

  • Your message on screen

    Rare and Legendary holders get a message in the show bar as their Firework bursts, for everyone watching to see.

  • Billboards in the valley

    Now and then the camera stops in the valley, where billboards light up with names and messages from the community.

  • Spot the codes

    Four codes hide on the billboards during the show. Spot all four for a shot at one of five show prizes. All you need is an account.

Three tiers

Legendaries burst the biggest, but every Firework gets its moment.

The art

Made by code. Curated by hand.

Every Firework comes from our own pixel fireworks engine. We tuned every explosion, palette and effect by hand, watched them over the city, and threw out what didn't look right.

The holder game Launches after the mint

Shells: crack the code, win from the pool.

Shells is not a whitelist game: it starts after the mint. Your Fireworks give you Shells, the pieces of our game on Base. For two weeks in December, every 30 hours brings a new secret code to crack, like Mastermind. Crack it with your own Shells and they earn Sparks: your share of the prize pool.

$10,000 Jackpot. Guaranteed.

60% of every mint goes into the prize pool. Besides the Jackpot there's a share for every Spark, weekly prizes, show prizes, a set prize and 25 Lucky Shells.

All about ShellsFree to play, with or without Shells.

Fair by design

Trust is earned with transparency. With real money in the prize pool, you can check for yourself that the mint and every prize are fair.

  • Your Firework is a surprise. The order of the whole collection is sealed with a provenance hash before the mint, so nobody can pick out the best ones.
  • Every draw is random. The reveal and every prize draw use Chainlink VRF: random numbers that come with proof on the blockchain.
  • Anyone can check it. Every draw and every result is public.
  • The team never wins. Team wallets never play for prizes.

How do I get on the whitelist?

Play our free mini-games at play.pixelpyro.xyz. In the first one, Skyshot, the top 100 on the leaderboard when it closes (Monday, December 7, 17:00 CET) earn a spot, if they've linked a wallet and posted once on X with their personal link. More spots go to partner communities and giveaways on X. Your prize: a whitelist spot, the right to mint up to 2 Fireworks before the public mint. It's not a free NFT.

Does claiming a whitelist spot cost anything?

No. Claiming a whitelist spot is free. You never pay, send a transaction or approve anything for it. The only thing you ever sign is the free sign-in message on play.pixelpyro.xyz.

How do I know I have a spot?

Your spot is tied to the wallet linked to your account. Before the whitelist mint you can check your wallet on pixelpyro.xyz. We'll never DM you about your spot. Anyone who does isn't us.

Can I sell my Firework after claiming my name?

Yes, Fireworks are never locked. When one changes hands its name and message lapse, and the new owner can claim the spot. The names in the show are fixed a day or two before the show.

Do I need a Firework to play Shells?

No, anyone can play for free. Fireworks give you Shells, and only your own Shells earn Sparks.

Is it fair?

The art is locked with a provenance hash before the mint, and the reveal and every draw use Chainlink VRF. Anyone can check them.
